We are expecting a couple rounds of severe thunderstorms to make their way across parts of Georgia today. Be careful as you make travel plans and stay tuned to local authorities and trusted news sources for any weather updates.
There is a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) of severe thunderstorms on Tuesday for much of Georgia. The main hazards include damaging winds and hail, though isolated and brief tornados cannot be ruled out. #gawx

Georgians, with many of us on the road to visit loved ones this holiday season, drive safely and responsibly. State and local law enforcement are hard at work to keep travelers safe on Thanksgiving, and we’re thankful for their service!
Before you travel for Thanksgiving, check your tires, lights, wipers, and fuel level. Plan your route, allow extra time, and be prepared for heavier traffic this week. Safe travel starts before you leave the driveway. #ThanksgivingTravel #HolidayTravel #DriveSafeGA

Eliminating the Georgia state income tax would provide much-needed relief to the working women and families across Georgia. Thank you to @IWF and Patrice Onwuka for their support as the state legislature works to let Georgians keep more of the money they work hard to earn.
